Jessica, your comment about anti-aging goals equaling stagnation was a revelation. We need to talk more about how this impacts our sense of self, and actual goals (career, purpose, family). I’d read a whole essay!
Emily, I have worked closely with a PR guy who worked directly with the gas princess. I have no Intel about how they worked or if he was involved with her rebrand, but what a small world?
I feel like the “old man hands, not my hands” thing in the article may also be connected to a recent rise in transphobia. Calling the hands of any woman suspected of being trans “mannish” has a common TERF talking point for years
Also thank you for acknowledging that the pandemic is still going on!
Love both your discerning eyes so much. SO grateful for the call out of actors' extreme weight loss/ body changes for roles...it's such acting "craft" bs and perpetuates more harmful, not to mention boring/predictable film acting and editing. This topic deserves lots more public critical thinking IMO. (Marlon Brando, a revered "craft" actor didn't lose weight for Apocalypse Now for a character that in the book is in starvation, but Coppola, et al found some interesting storytelling in his scenes in the cave in lighting/close-ups...). Love listening to y'all's conversations and thoughts. Thanks for the work and reporting you're doing.
Now I'm curious what a downfall will look like. Will they be as irrelevant as Carrot Top where we hear abso nothing or like Chris Brown where they continue to release projects and show up at high profile events but necessarily be influential or news worthy? (kind of tricky thinking up examples because we don't remember the names of those who have truly fallen off). On that note, what does Paris Hilton resurgence (?) signal for the decline of the Kardashians. Are going to suffer through their comback attempt, say when the kids are adults? Will the wealth extend to another generation?
I'm only worried about my cuticles. They're brittle and receding. That said, i look at my mom's hands and I'm not sad that they're wrinkled, I'm more worried if they signal that she's working herself too hard.
Amazing episode. Only comment is that it’s actually considered safer and easier to drive with your hands at the bottom of the wheel and is also better for your shoulder rotator cuff.
omg these topics... a feast ... can't wait to listen

I remember watching that hand model piece as a kid! What stuck with me was that she couldn’t even pop open a coke
